Hi and welcome to day 2 of my 12 Days Of Christmas Series. Todays topic is going to be about dealing with holiday depression. The stress of the holidays can bring about sadness and depression for many people. This time of year is especially difficult for people who have lost loved ones and because of the COVID-19 pandemic. There is an expectation for everyone to be merry and giving and many people just don’t have it in them. Here are some things that contribute to stress and make the holidays difficult:

1. Finances

2. Stress

3. Loneliness

4. Grief

5. Newley Divorced

6. Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD)
